[Mtearle]

A patch to enable automatic approval for certain domains, eg people
in the example.com are automatically approved all others have to wait for
the moderator

Is this still necessary with Mailman 2.1, which has more
'automatic' options (as well as 'memberadaptors') ? In any
case, the patch is likely heavily out of date by now, I'm
moving this to Feature Requests for now. Feel free to
respond if you (still) have a need.

The attached patch is against a 2.1.8a1 installed base
(installed because it patches Defaults.py and not
Defaults.py.in). It is a modification and extension of the
original patch. It implements a new list attribute
'subscribe_auto_approval' which is a list of email addresses
and regular expressions matching email addresses whose
subscriptions are exempt from admin approval. It implements
the original intent if one just uses regexps that match domains.

This will go in Mailman 2.2, but it would be nice to get
some feedback from people who are interested in this feature
and are willing to try the patch.

I've successfully applied this against a v2.1.8 system and
it works well. Thanks!!

New feature request for this patch, seeking feedback.

Most of my lists automatically moderate new subscribers, in
addition some require admin approval for subsciption, except
for domains listed in subscribe_auto_approval. A nice
addition to this patch would be to not moderate subscribers
whose domains are listed in subscribe_auto_approval.

Reopened. Pending/closed was a mistake.

Marked this bug as invalid due to its age and nothing further has been added in a long time. New versions have been released since as well as some underlying stuff in Linux itself.

If this bug still affects then please change status back to 'Confirmed'.
